[Task Force]

[Oberon]

You put a SubSim logo on the tower!:rock:




Oh cool! Inside shots.

[Oberon]

Is that a rifle on the side of the conning tower? :o

I sure did - it was a last minute thing and a tribute to Neal.
The company above the Subsim logo paid 8000$ for its logo there - Neal got it for free :D

[McBeck]

Is that a rifle on the side of the conning tower? :o
Yeah - just a toy rifle. We picked it up at one of our stops. Its not there anymore...

[Oberon]

Thought it looked quite unlike any rifle I'd seen before. Cool shots of the boat, she looks an absolute beaut. Look forward to seeing shots of the diving tests.

Nice, now you just need the rant about how you almost collided.:rotfl:

[McBeck]

Nice, now you just need the rant about how you almost collided.:rotfl:Shhhyyyyyy.....the engine on Nautilus actully failed one time when she was about to dock at another ship. That gave a shudder ;)
It was due to a mis-calibration of the engine or something like that - all fixed now

[nikimcbee]

Now do you have an opening for cook?

[McBeck]

Now do you have an opening for cook?Nope, but we need a trained diving officer!

[Rilder]

Now do you have an opening for cook?Nope, but we need a trained diving officer!

"Hmmm I'l just turn this wheel this way"

"Damn it rilder you just dived us on a 90 Degree angle into the seabed!"

"Hmmm I'l just turn this wheel this way"

"Damn it rilder you just dived us on a 90 Degree angle into the seabed!"Considering there are about 9 valves for the trimtanks alone, I think doing the above should be easily accomplished :hmm:

[Jimbuna]

Now do you have an opening for cook?

Depends on how good a cook you are.

Fantastic videos. Really hope that the dive trials on te next week or so go smoothly. :yep:

Any idea as to the cost for this kind of project and has it been easy to navigate through Danish maritime law? How much red tape has there been to deal with?

[Onkel Neal]

Yep, very thoughtful of Jon and Peter to include the Subsim.com logo on the Nautilus. I cannot wait to see it next year. I may have to go a few months early and scout the location :yep:

[Letum]

That is just wonderful.
My admiration, joy at seeing such a sight and jealousy(!) fill me completely.

Jolly good stuff! :up:


Almost enough to make me find some steel piping and take a welding course. ;)
